Avalanche (AVAX) was one of the Top 7 Hottest Crypto Picks for 2024, as CNF previously <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/top-7-hottest-crypto-picks-for-2024-blockdag-ethereum-solana-cardano-polkadot-avax-and-chainlink/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a>. On Thursday, AVAX gained 4%, and recent developments, including the launch of Franklin Templeton’s and Agora’s fully-collateralized US digital dollar (AUSD) on the Avalanche network, suggest a possible price rally in the coming days.
Franklin Templeton, managing $1.6 trillion in assets, has expanded its blockchain presence by introducing the Franklin Templeton OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) on the <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/avalanche-set-to-mirror-solanas-surge-analyst-predicts-42-target-for-avax/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Avalanche network</a>. Confirmed by a recent Avalanche tweet, this marks the first US-registered mutual fund using a public blockchain, highlighting Avalanche’s growing role in institutional finance.
